More like Career Suicide Squad...

 

[Penguin]

On paper, this is an amazing cast for the Squad.

I mean I could see almost all of them in their roles.

And I'll do my best to ignore Jai exists

 

[DieH@rd]

Everyone who did not watch Assault on Arkham, you need to do so ASAP.

 

[rexor0717]

That is quite the cast! Not going to lie, I'm kinda excited for this.

 

[OricWindstar]

Count me the fuck in.

 

[SaintZ]

I don't know what to think hasdkajdaks

 

[Spaghetti]

that's a totally nuts but incredibly awesome cast.

 

[giancarlo123x]

More like Career Suicide Squad...

How so?

 

[cagelessrat]

Leto has big shoes to fill.

Cool line-up. Tom Hardy is awesome. And Leto will be great.

 

[Chariot]

Is Amanda Waller gonna be in this? She has to be.

Hopefully we don't get bean Waller and the proper WALL instead.

 

[Daemul]

Welp, time for me to eat crow, I never thought they would manage to get all these actor's in one movie.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I want everything to do with this.

 

[Kinyou]

So Big Willie Styles going to be slobbering all up on Margot Robbie?

Well... at least until Leto shows up.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

We should just take Jai Courtney, Taylor Kitsch, and Sam Worthington and put them in a room until they all collapse into an anti-charisma singularity.

 

[lovely ladies]

They should all keep their beards for the movie. Joker should have Jesus hair too.

 

[Cheat Code]

Jared Leto is a fucking amazing choice for Joker.

 

[Hystzen]

Either Joker or Luthor? Or both?

Who knows.



Where the hell are you hearing that?

Variety are reporting Oprah in their article for this announcement

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So Big Willie Styles going to be slobbering all up on Margot Robbie?

They're already having sex in that Focus movie next year

 

[strafer]

Waller should be

 

[Penguin]

I can't see Will as an anti-hero/bad guy. Has he played any roles like that before?

Will Smith will play Will Smith.

Loud, egotistical, cool guy. With a bit of a heart

 

[Ein Bear]

Aw man, for a second there, I thought Tom Hardy was reprising Bane and got insanely excited.

Still an awesome cast though. Should be a great movie.

 

[John Kowalski]

i thought this would be about suicide...

 

[AuthenticM]

Man, the villains-as-heroes card is sure as shit being overplayed by Hollywood right now. Christ.

 

[kulapik]

Where the hell are you hearing that?

Warners still has the role of Amanda Waller, the character who oversees the team (similarly to Nick Fury in the Marvel universe), to cast before the film goes into production. The studio’s shortlist of actresses being eyed for the role includes Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Oprah Winfrey, whom sources say would be WB’s first choice for the part.

[DiipuSurotu]

How so?

Jared Leto as the Joker so soon after Heath Ledger, for a start.

 

[Dawg]

Jai Courtney in this means it's gonna be bad

trust me

Spoiler

pls be good

They seem to have the money to do it.

Jared Leto as the Joker so soon after Heath Ledger, for a start.

8 years

 

[Schweinehund]

Pretty cool line up. Enchantress is definitely interesting, gun be sum magic up in here.

 

[More_Badass]

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/s...-the-joker-will-smith-is-deadshot-1201368867/

Oprah? Nah, I can't see it

 

[Jest Chillin]

I can't see Will as an anti-hero/bad guy. Has he played any roles like that before?

Yes. Six Degrees of Separation.

 

[sarcastor]

Captain Boomerang carries a number of boomerangs in his satchel. He is an expert at throwing the weapons and as well as ordinary boomerangs he has a number with special properties, including bladed, explosive, incendiary, and electrified boomerangs

seriously this sounds like the lamest character ever.

 

[anaron]

Lmao @ wanting Oprah

CCH or Viola only thx

 

[jph139]

Wow, that's a helluva cast.

Oprah as Amanda Waller would be icing on the cake. Just crazy enough to work.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yes @ the Will Smith casting
D.C. continues to impress with diversity casting
Ezra Miller as Flash, Will Smith as Deadshot...
Another day, another slay.

 

[Currygan]

i thought this would be about suicide...

In terms of box office you're probably right

 

[Chariot]

seriously this sounds like the lamest character ever.

You don't know much about comics, do you? There are way lamer characters out there.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Variety are reporting Oprah in their article for this announcement

Holy shit, you're absolutely right.

You guys know, I'm die-hard CCH Pounder for this role.

But if they can get Oprah?

Come the fuck on, how can you not wanna see that?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Jared Leto as the Joker so soon after Heath Ledger, for a start.

Its time to move on. By the time this releases it will almost have been a decade.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Honestly, I only care about who they will cast as The Wall. It's important.

 

[Slayven]

Well... at least until Leto shows up.

Hope they use Face Off Joker

 

[WinFonda]

There's only one man who can stop Papa Will as Deadshot...

 

[Can Crusher]

How much money is Warner sinking in this?

It's so weird that Will Smith is doing this. I guess everybody wants in on the superhero craze. And they want to cast Oprah? lawd

 

[Tabby]

Great cast. Can't wait to see what Jared Leto does with the Joker.

Not sure those Oprah and Waller rumours though.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

FUCK YEAH JARED IS JOKER

 

[Magwik]

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/s...-the-joker-will-smith-is-deadshot-1201368867/

Eyeing Oprah but not CCH Pounder (Waller's VA in JL:U, and pretty much played Waller in Warehouse 13)? Biggest WTF out of the casting

 

[Father_Brain]

Wait, Oprah fucking Winfrey is the first choice for Amanda Waller? Talk about burying the lede...

That and Courtney aside, what an interesting choice of property to adapt so early in this universe. Hope they pull it off.

 

[Poona]

That's awesome. Can see Jared being an amazing Joker, and it's going to be so interesting to hear Margot as Harley.

 

[Chariot]

There's only one man who can stop Papa Will as Deadshot...

Bull shit costume, this guy never had a bright day.

 

[anaron]

Oprah would kill it but it'll be so damn distracting

 

[Masquerader]

Holy shit, this looks good.

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/s...-the-joker-will-smith-is-deadshot-1201368867/

... HOLY SHIT, this looks great! I'm actually rather interested. Just as long as they put some jokes in.
